MONEY

Empower dashboard is a powerful tool designed to help you track your net worth and monitor your financial growth.

It offers easy-to-understand visuals and insights, allowing you to stay informed and make strategic decisions for your financial future.

Vanguard is where I have my personal brokerage account, my Roth IRA, and a custodial investment account for my son. The fee and commission structure can’t be beat. Vanguard has great ETFs with low fee ratios.

Wealthfront is a High Yield Savings Account with competitive interest rates and no account fees. As of November ’24, Wealthfront offers a 4.50% interest rate plus a 3-month 0.50% bump for signing up with a referral link.

HEALTH

GLP-1 Providers

NOTE: Some telehealth companies require a monthly subscription fee. Others only require an initial consult fee and sometimes a refill fee.

  • Lavender Sky Health
    • This was the first telehealth company I signed up with. They have a TON of information on their (dated) website and you get more choice in the package you order. Their communication is hit or miss.
  • Orderly Meds
    • Their sign-up is straight-forward but I don’t love the way they communicate (texting from various phone numbers). I also felt like I didn’t have any choice in the package I was signing up for.
    • Affiliate Link
  • Zappy Health
    • If you want to order in bulk, Zappy is one of the few options. They let you choose a monthly, 3-month, or 9-month option and ship your medication to you all at once.
    • Affiliate Link and $30 Off
